Skiing is one of our favorite winter pastimes: There’s just something about getting out in the fresh air (and fresh powder) that does a body good. And whether you’re doing the “pizza” down the bunny slopes or have mastered the double black diamond, you’ll be sure to have a great time, especially if you can…
John Y. Can/Flickr While zip lines are often associated with military boot camps, the aerial runways are typically used by thrill-seeking vacationers these days.

During the winter months, these spots are bustling with tourists who are either looking to escape the cold, or are seeking it out for that fresh powder. But summer months see their crowds dispersing for destinations like the beaches of the East Coast, Europe, and…
Calling all snow bunnies! For some people (admittedly, not me) winter isn’t the time to flee down to Florida or the Caribbean for some sun and sand, but rather it’s finally the season when they can hit the slopes. When deciding on a destination, it’s no secret that the best skiing in the U.S. is…
We’re pretty happy just about anytime we go on vacation, but some destinations just feel happier than others. Why? Well, because they are!
